Glimepiride

Glimepiride is used along with diet and exercise, and sometimes with other medications, to treat type 2 diabetes. Glimepiride lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin and helping the body use insulin efficiently. This medication will only help lower blood sugar in people whose bodies produce insulin naturally.

Glimerpiride

Pros:
I've been on this med for 15 years...the first med for my diabetes they gave me. Although I thought it was pretty good, it did the job, and when added with other meds seemed to not upset my stomach. Now the doc has taken it away, and when added 1mg back, my bs numbers are still up in the air. But it does work if you can tolerate it. Make sure dosage is enough for you

Cons:
can't think of any side effects I've had, in fact none.....

Overall:
It was good, is still good. But I would much rather be on less oral meds and get lantus or humalog to work in my favor
